Anti-circumvention investigations

Anti-circumvention investigations are conducted by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to determine whether circumvention of existing anti-dumping or countervailing measures is occurring. Circumvention occurs when trade and business practices are altered to specifically avoid the liability for Special Import Measures Act (SIMA) duties.

Anti-circumvention investigations assess whether trade practices are altered to avoid the liability for duties under the Special Import Measures Act:

• an anti-circumvention investigation schedule
• a list of exhibits
• a list of counsel granted disclosure
• notices of initiation, termination or conclusion of anti-circumvention investigation
• a statement of essential facts
• a statement of reasons for anti-circumvention determination
